Annual Veteran Day Parade Rolls Down Savannah Georgia Streets With Marlton NJ Girl Scout Troop
Girl Scout Travel Troop from Marlton NJIt was an early Saturday morning in the hostess city for Bella Crossley and Jenny Veitch with their friends, Girl Scout Troup 285 from Marlton, NewJersey, as they watched the Veterans Day parade.
"It feels good, and it's fun to be able to, like, support the people who, like, served and fought for my country," said Crossley
"We decided to come to this Veterans Day parade because. We were here on a trip, and we saw that it was going to be here today, and we're like, that's the perfect opportunity. This would be so much fun," said Veitch.
The girls got front-row seats to view marching bands and veterans from around Savannah, like Veteran of the Year Timothy Ansley. Kyron Neveaux also interviewed them from WJCL TV.
"I love to be in the background helping things out and get things going. And then last year, I was fortunate enough to be nominated and selected, and it was the greatest thrill of my life," said Ansley.
Ansley joined the army in 1966 and has traveled around fighting for our country, including Vietnam.
Which is a reason he enjoys this annual parade.
